The Classic Thornton Park — Restaurant in Orlando

We were so glad to see another burger/bar food place pop up in this space! Service was great, some of the staff lives right in the neighborhood and it’s always fun to support neighbors. Kitchen is open until at least 12 midnight which is sorely needed in Thornton.

We ordered The Fridge, The fried pork chop sandwich, and croquettes. The croquettes were good at first but got a little soft and lost their crunch towards the end (which is totally to be expected but still a noticeable change). They’d be a great snack if you’re grabbing a drink at Burtons. We had our order to go and the croquettes where in a little paper bag which caused them to get pretty messed up, squished, and collapsed. These would be better in some kind of box so they don’t get smashed. The fried pork chop sandwich was bland and slightly over cooked. The house made chips are fantastic. I always worry when I see in house potatoes but they weren’t too starchy or burnt and stayed crispy even when they cooled. The Fridge was AMAZING. So flavorful and perfectly cooked. Definitely the highlight that I highly recommend. We will most definitely be back to try more!

UPDATE: Moving from four stars to five! First, dipper fries are genius (they are scoop shaped fries so soft in the middle but crispy at the edge and why isn’t every fry like this!). Second, my favorite standard burger in the neighborhood. Third, the menu is bonkers. Not only is it pretty large to begin with, they have burgers of the week, special hotdogs for game days, and other random surprises and they are always so yummy. Last, the onion strings are one of the most delicious things...

Yikes. This was just a bad experience from start to finish.

Parking is not that easy, but go down any of the side streets and look for sports that are marked.

We walked into the restaurant and staff were immediately rude to us.

We also were given exactly 15 seconds to look at the menu before the server asked us what we wanted.

We ordered some burgers and tenders, but unfortunately the tenders are terrible. These are pre-frozen chicken tenders that taste like what you would get at a school cafeteria. They are also heavily salted at the restaurant.

I will give props to their crispy potato wedge fries. These were actually pretty good.

I had asked for a side of a specific sauce, and when I got my meal, it was not there. I then went inside to ask, and they told me that they don’t even have that sauce. This would’ve been good to know when they said they would get me at after I placed the order.

Seating is also bad. They have limited outdoor seating, however, they have very interesting people that can walk up and down the area and disrupt your meal.

In the end, this is not a place that I can recommend at all due to the extremely poor service and rude staff, terrible food, and overall a...

Absolutely delightful!

Thornton Park is in dire need of some late night deliciousness, and this really fits the bill.

We ordered at 12:30 (30 minutes before close!!):

The Fridge w/no Tomatoes All Beef Hotdog w/light Onions 2 sides of house fries/chips Soft Pretzels 2 Cinnamon Rolls

The Fridge was a smash hit, love the brat patty. Not much else to say! Definitely a safe option. The hotdog was only okay if we are being honest. Even with light onions, the raw onion gives too much bite paired with the spicy dijon. Cant go wrong with a grilled hotdog though, which we pulled out and ate alone. The pretzels are incredible! The dijon has a wonderful heat and bite, and the pretzels have a nice airy texture with a crisp bite. The house fries are absolutely killer. Perfect in all ways, not too salty and perfectly starchy. THE CINNAMON ROLLS?? insane. I really hope you guys start having them everytime!!

Great service all together, order was ready within 10 minutes of...
